Migrant Mother
by Dorothea Lange

Choose a historic photo. For this photo you must include the following:

1. The date (or at least year) it was taken
2. The photographer’s name (if available)
3. The importance and significance of the photo in history
4. Why did you choose this photo?
5. Your own thoughts about the image and its significance

You must have at least two research sources for your paper and you must properly cite the source at the
end of your paper (MLA format).

It is suggested that you use EasyBib.com or some other sourcing citing
website.

If a source is not cited or is not in the proper MLA format, the paper will not be graded.
